New park in town!

After much speculation about the triangular piece of land across from our house at 6th and Christian, it has been confirmed that the Bella Vista Neighborhood Association is negotiating with the current owner and the city to officially recognize this area as a 'city park.' Having been a gas station at one point, it is not viable to build on the land, nor plant a garden, so we are working to secure funds to landscape, install benches, etc. Today was the first official planting with an apple tree donated by Nutter in the center, wildflowers sprinkled throughout, and a few donated plants and shrubs.  For more information, check out the website.
